The national-scale drone delivery service, Zipline, has announced a successful collaboration with UPS and The UPS Foundation to assist the government of Ghana in the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines across Ghana.
Supported by the coordination of UPS Healthcare with vaccine manufacturers, UPS deliveries of initial vaccines arrived this week in Ghana from the COVAX Facility and transportation will begin swiftly within Ghana.
The UPS Foundation mobilized its distribution network to receive the vaccines from the Kotoka International Airport to the National Cold Room operated by the Expanded Programme for Immunization of the Ghana Health Service.
UPS will next support the distribution of the bulk vaccine cargo to regional cold rooms and Zipline distribution centers in Omenako, Mpanya, Vobsi and Sefwi Wiawso.
